Tijuana hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 15 points and a 15th position in the Liga MX table. Visiting Necaxa holds 10th place with 24 pts.

Insights:
  • Tijuana have the fewest scored goals (12) in Liga MX
  • Necaxa have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

1-1-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Necaxa when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those three matches are 4-4 (scored/conceded).

It's quite the trip for Necaxa when visiting Tijuana as the cities are 2400 kilometers apart.

Tijuana form and stats

Preceding that match was the home game against Mazatlan that was lost 2-3.

Benny Díaz had a busy but productive day in the Guadalajara match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented.

Tijuana are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 9 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Necaxa have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
